But Seattle doesn’t do cocaine Remember Microsoft is on the east side

Okay…. Cocaine probably played a large part

Best cocaine in Puget Sound comes from Bellevue, prove me wrong

A professor once told me “don’t trust ‘free software’ from a megacorp”, most important thing I learned in college.

Has a patent office ever refused to grant patent for something on the grounds it was too obscene or fucked-up? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Without going into detail I know there are a lot of things that are illegal to patent for more or less bureaucratic reasons, like paraphernalia, but you can get around it by saying that it’s for tobacco. Also, the military branches have representatives that work in the patent office, so if you find a unique way to kill people you are about to either become very rich, or very arrested.

Tariffs are not a new concept and have been used historically to build economies. Top China analysts in the Obama administration credited its economic rise to protective tariffs and high barriers to entry for any foreign companies to sell in country.

I’m probably a bit older than most lemmy users and remember when tariffs were a major talking point for democrats as a positive thing to protect American jobs. Hell, growing up in the Midwest, all my dad and his buddies that worked union jobs had to vote democrat because of their aggressive tariff policy to protect their jobs.

So what if trump is right about tariffs and it reinvigorates the American economy? Will people find another reason to credit the success to? Will it be the end of blue collar voting for the democrats?

Edit: Markets are rebounding hard, I bought low, glad Lemmy is full of pseudo intellectual economic morons. How is Lemmy going to cope now?

I hope blankets get banned over this. They are basically a giant net and keep the fascists warm. The world would be better without them.
